Persian in the Age of Mughal Decline: A ReevaluationMuzaffar Alam, University of Chicago

The essay undertakes to reevaluate the trajectory of Persian in Mughal Hindustan in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, when receding social and political spaces for the language eventually led to the disappearance of its prestige and power. In an earlier analysis I have explained this phenomenon in terms of the victorious voice of Hindavi / Rekhta / Urdu in the wake of the eighteenth century debates around “Indian” and “Iranian” Persian, and that the rise in power of the regional states and the English East India Company further nourished the vernacular languages.
